Legislative Member Item Program (MIP)

About the Legislative Member Item Program

Recipients of awards made under the Legislative Member Item Program (MIP) are selected by members of the New York State Senate and Assembly. Program funds may be used for a broad range of activities, including planning, administration and capital costs and are to be used exclusively for the purpose as delineated by the Legislative Finance Committee. These activities are generally designed to promote low and moderate income housing, to preserve neighborhoods, and improve the quality of neighborhood life.
